Employment Assistance

Upon completion of the Diesel Service Technology program, we are confident you can
do the job. However, we also want to be sure you can get the job. Throughout the
program, job search skills will be addressed in class, including resume writing, job interviews and
job applications. If you need assistance with these or other job search activities
before they come up in class, staff in the Student
Employment and Cooperative Education Services office will be happy to assist you.

Resume Writing, Mock Interviews

Students will learn to assess and articulate their skills, abilities,
and goals, and to answer common and difficult interview questions. Then, each student
participates in a mock interview with an industry representative. This gives students
direct feedback from the kind of people who actually interview and hire Diesel Service
Technicians. The program has many employers who assist us in this process, and we
are always seeking additional suggestions from students. Occasionally, the mock interview
experience actually results in a job for students!

Job Referrals

PCC's Diesel Service Technology program has a strong reputation with area employers
in the industry. Many call the program looking for qualified technicians to fill
full or part-time jobs. All current Diesel Service Technology students and graduates
are eligible to use the job referral service through the Student
Employment and Cooperative Education Services office. Some employers offer part-time jobs for current students,
and many are willing to work around students' class schedules for those who want
to work while going to school. To have these employment opportunities sent directly

Services.
